## Getting Started
## Step 1: Go to the docker official Website
goto at https://www.docker.com/
If you dont have a current docker account make sure to Sign-up or if you have, make sure to Sign-in first
After You Sign-in or Sign-up you will be directed at https://app.docker.com/
Click the Docker Desktop , ` Go to download ` button
After that click the download docker for your ` Windows `
For this Documentation we will use windows for it
##
## Step 2: Enable Window Features
On your desktop search for ` Windows Feature on or Off `
Once youre in, check the following:
* ✅ Hyper V or Windows Hypervisor Platform
* ✅ Windows Subsystem for Linux
Once you check the followings click ` Ok ` button then restart your desktop
##
## Step 3: Command Prompt Checking
Open your Command Prompt then check for your wsl default version, make sure the " Default Version " is 2, in order to check, Type:
```
wsl --status
```
if the ` Default Version ` is not set to ` 2 `, Type:
```
wsl --set-default-version 2
```
this will make the Default version to 2, to check it type ` wsl --status ` again and you will see the ` Default Version Changed `.
once the Default Version is 2, Find the Docker Desktop Installer then run it to perform installation
##
## Step 4: Docker Desktop
Once the docker desktop is installed , open Docker Desktop
Sign in your Docker Account and to make sure the docker is running find the ` ^ ` icon on your desktop taskbar then click on it
after signing in goto ` Settings >> Resources >> WSL Integration `, then make sure The `Enable integration with my default WSL distro` is checked ✅
additionally make sure all the distros are enabled on the part of `Enable integration with additional distros: ` since we are using ubuntu , make sure its enabled.
Once you click on it you will see a Docker icon and hover your mouse on it, you will see a pop up sayin, ` Docker Desktop is Running `.
##
## Step 5: Check docker on CMD

```
docker version
```

Now to see the Docker images, type:
```
docker images
```
at first you will see
` REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE `
this shows the table columns and will show a complete empty images as you didn't have one for now
now we will try to search or find some images, type:
```
docker search mysql
```
